When was your last British passport issued?

my former name (as per my deed poll)
another new name (please specify details below)
another former name (please specify details below)
I don’t hold a U.K. driving licence or provisional driving licence

! Note: As your driving licence / passport is still in your former name, you’re probably going to need a new deed poll.

Your current legal name is the name you use generally, and particularly on official forms of ID. The DVLA / Passport Office will therefore consider your change of name to be a new change of name.

You can still order a replacement through the SafeStorage™ service — but we’ll probably recommend that we date your deed poll from the present date (i.e. when you sign it).

Are any of your other official documents or records still in your former name?
